In talking with women around the country, Jim Henderson has
come to believe that there is an epidemic of quiet, even sad resignation among
dedicated Christian women who are feeling overworked and undervalued in the
church. As a result, many women are
discouraged. Some, particularly young
women, respond by leaving the organized church . . . or walking away from the
faith altogether.

WOW! What a
very interesting book! "The Resignation of Eve" will definitely make you think about yourself, your church, and your involvement in church a little differently. As a Christian woman,
I have had many of the thoughts and feelings highlighted in this book. The general premise of the book is essentially,
what if the women of the church stopped being the workhorses of the
church. That's right! No more singing in the choir. No more running the nursery. No more working in children's church. No more anything until equality is evaluated! Due to certain scriptures in the
bible and due to a certain mindset of men in the church, women are not to lead
in the church. Some men believe that
women should be quiet in the church; other men believe that women should only
lead women’s groups or work with children/youth groups. The author, through numerous interviews and research
has attempted to expose the inequality in the treatment of women in the
church. The book gives a very engaging
look at how women view themselves in Gods’ church. This book was well written and thought provoking. The author gave us a LOT of information to ponder. I enjoyed reading the interviews with the various women and getting to understand the different views of women in the church. This book should be included in every book club across America. After reading The Resignation of Eve, I had to think back on my involvement in church work and evaluate what I do and why.

The
author of this book believes that most women in the church fit into three main categories. Those RESIGNED to the treatment of women in
the church. Those who RESIGNED from the
church and its treatment of women. Lastly,
those RE-SIGNED to influencing and changing the treatment of women in the
church.

Thanks, Regina, for reading the book. I'm one of the "Daughters of Eve" who was interviewed for the book. I told Jim that I was a crazy mix of all three... and at the time of the interview somewhere between group 2 and group 3. I look forward to the dialog that the book is sure to generate. I am also waiting eagerly for my own copy so that I can read the entire book - the research and the other interviews! Grace to you, my friend.

@Mr. Henderson, it was an honor. The book was VERY interesting! I could see other that I have known all throughout the book. I could also see where I was one type of woman but than became a different type! I am definitely recommending the book to other Daughters of Eve!Blessings to you!Regina

Laura, hello there! what a book and a very interesting look at the way women see themselves. I just joined the facebookj page so the facebook dialogue should be interesting! I found myself thinking how can some of these women think this way? But people often live what they learn, so if you are not taught anything differently that what you see is what you generally emulate. It was an awesome read!Enjoy & be blessed!Regina
